Wele.,rn from5gmor ON .lias streets That
upon the occasion Of the concert at one OF
.opr leading female Schools, on last Friday
evening, that some boys behaved in most
outrageous aud ungenilesnanly manner.
We hope orr information li,s been exa,g )
rated, but il ID be true, as We have heard.
they deserve the:ntter contempt Of all de,
cent people. Boys, who may attend q con-
cert patronizsi by la]ies and gentlemen
and behave in the manner that. we have
heard, 'aeserye not ,enly the cpnten,pt of
all good people. bnt The rigors Of the law.
Wehase heretofore had an occasion to
notice some bad conduct Of boys in our
town at church. In this ease we have heard
no names Of offenders mentioned but in
the future, should ali ke dastardly conduct
happen. we will not hesitate 10 give their
names, that the public may know who they
are aud shnn them as they richly deserve.

PROSPEROUS REGINA.
A Bird's-Eye Yiew of the Capital of the
Northwest Territory.

"A blruS-Eye Jew OF the Capital of tin g
Northwest Territory.
Imagine section cut out of the mid
die of the Atlantic Ocean, and set
down few scattered rows of wooden
houses upon it, and you will have a
pretty good idea of Regina as it looks
upon this level prairie, stretching for
miles in every direction without tree
in sight. There are probably three
hundred buildings in the town, which
contains one thousand people, and the
most prominent object that looms uB
as it is approached over the prairie is
the railway water tank. The city is
laid out on scale of magnifcence ri
valing even the usual spread made by
frontier towns, and the consequence is
that the public buildings, unable to
get room IN the town, are all from a
half-mile to two miles away from the
place. 1t has three hotels, named from
famous American hostelries, the
Palmer, the Grand Pacific and the
Windsor, but the three put together
would not cover a quarter of an acre.
1t has one newspaper in full operation,
with hopes of another It is all located
on one side of the railway, with
nothing at all apparently on the other
side, where the smooth prairie stretches
away into indefinite space Its rail-
way service, too, is most curious, one
passenger train each way passing
every twenty-four hours, both of them
in the middle of the night, the west
bound train passing at fifteen minutes
before midnight, and the east-bound
train at fifty minutes after midnight.
This, to some extent, may restrict
travel, but it can not curtail the i'm
portance Of this Northwestern capital,
which may some day become the me-
tropolis of Assiniboia, as it is now the
home of the Governor of the North
west Territory, the meeting place of
his council, and the headquarters of
his standing army-the mounted police.
The few streets of Regina are broad,
and bordered with wooden sidewalks,
the ox-carts which slowly meander
through them being varied by some
highly painted Indian, clad in pic
turesque Hudson Bay Company's
blanket, who proudly rides into town
on his pony with his squaw trudging
after through the sticky mud.-CoT.

CHOOSING a HUSBAND,
The Opinion of Parents Entitled to Re
spectful Consideration by Daughters.

The Opinion of Parents Entitled to Re-
spectful Consideration by Daughters.
There are two sides to the question
of love-made VS.. parental-made mar
riages as there are to every other
question. Parents who have seen the
world are better able to choose a hus-
band than an inexperienced girl under
the influence of blind Cupid. Many a
young girl who has been forced to
marry her parents choice instead of
her own has cried and torn her hair
and raved of the convent and of sui
eide, and yet, after all, her souls idol
has turned out a scamp, and she has
been grateful in after years for the
happy home and the worthy husband
that two wiser heads than her own
found for her.
Still, the little god, Cupid, does not
always wear bandage over his eyes,
and an intellectual, well-educated girl
ought to have-and really kind
parents will allow her-a voice in the
selection of her future partner How
long it may be ere she obtains this
privilege in France is doubtful, for the
French character presents curious
combination of hasty tickleness and o.
stinate conservatism; now kicking
down, with irreverent foot, a time
honored monument of worth and wis

The great Empress Catherine of
Russia, when she made up her mind to
marry off her grandson, the young
Grand Duke Alexander, sent for three
charming young Germ anP rincesses, and
when they arrived at ST. Petersburg
she watched them as each stepped out
of the carriage that had brought so
fair a load to the palace. One of the
Princesses sprang lightly to the ground
without touching the carriage-step.
''She will not do" muttered the ex-

who stepped from the carriage, and she
naiyely confessed to Catherine that she
had never met a young man to compare
with the Grand Duke Alexander. When
Catherine told them she intended them
for each other, Alexander jumped with
delight and gentle Louise shed tears of
joy.-ReUue IIIuStre.
